Sampo plc has updated its distribution policy to focus on delivering a mix of dividends and share buybacks as it transitions to a focused P&C insurer. The new policy, effective from 2026, will see Sampo gradually increasing its share buybacks to represent up to one-third of distributions from operating earnings in a typical year. Despite the change, Sampo will continue to return around 90% of its operating result to shareholders annually, with a progressive dividend per share development. The goal is to offer reliable income through dividends while using share buybacks to reinvest in the Group’s long-term prospects.
